Hello experts. Noob here.
I'm disappointed with mine since they lack bass depth and punch.
Using uncalibrated mic I got SPLs that confirm what I'm hearing.
They roll off at 200hz. Barely audible at 50hz.
I'm comparing these to my current 90's JVC mini stereo SP-S20BK and even these sound better (bass wise).
Even my puny little JBL Flip 5 sounds deeper sometimes. (See flat SPL with sharp drop off at 60hz but flat above that).
I'm using optical into Schiit Modi 3+ --> Aiyima A07 --> speakers.
No grills.
0.22 additional caps L2.
No serious stuffing or damping.
I tried the following but I saw (and heard) little to no difference:
Put speakers close to the back wall
Pull speakers 12" away from the back wall
Toe in, toe out
Sock in port
4" or 7" port (without socks
The speakers are placed at the edges of a 6.5 feet wooden cabinet (TV console).
They are used as 2.0 in my living room (18x12x8 feet approx).
Any advice?
What am I missing? Where is the C-Notes magic?!
